Eric Moore has parted ways with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.
The longtime drummer and manager of the Australian band announced the news today on social media, adding that his focus will now shift solely to Flightless Records, the label which release all of King Gizzard’s music alongside work by the likes of ORB, Stonefield and Amyl & the Sniffers.
Moore is one of the band’s seven original members, and one of two drummers. Whether or not the band plan to replace Moore when it comes to their impressive live sets (or as manager, in fact) remains to be seen. On record, fellow drummer Michael Cavanaugh is often credited as the main performer.
The news comes in a year which will see two albums from the Australian psych behemoths, with recent singles Honey and Some Of Us just a small taste of what’s to come.
